Will Hillary's rants this weekend be her version of the Dean scream?

[GumboYaYa]

After the Iowa primary, the media played the tape of Dean screaming at a rally that caused his campaign to tank in a mater of days. My friends in the room said he was just trying to be heard over the crowd, but the microphones made it look like he was going nuts.

I was running his ground effort in St. Louis at the time. We had amassed a list of thousands of supporters. After the scream, we started calling through our list. It was shocking how fast he lost support of people who had once been in his camp. At least three out of every four people I called switched after the loss in Iowa combined with the scream.

No one wants to be the last supporter for the crazy person.

My prediction is that the voters turn strongly against her after this last round of attacks.

1. She's been bleeding support since ST

This is not going to have the effect of "The Scream", but it probably compounds the problems that her campaign is having.

2. Worse. More like Nixon's meltdown in is last days.

3. Wasn't Dean leading when he "screamed?"

Furthermore, the "scream" was portrayed unfairly to Dean.

10. He had just lost Iowa, NH was close at the time, but he was leading.

NH was a must win for him to keep his campaign alive. The campaign also announced around the same time that it was almost out of money. They had spent the war chest trying to create a sense of inevitaility coming out of Iowa and had not invested in later states (sound familiar).

4. In a word, yes

Even pundits who have supported her in the past were saying over the weekend that her outburst was more theatrical than heartfelt (and that the flyers that prompted it have been out there for a while and don't exactly distort her positions). The thing that's bad for her is that, as a woman, she's prone to attacks of "hormonal overload", ad nauseum, yet she chose to go ballistic anyway. BAD move.

5. No. There has not been another Dean Scream since. The Dean Scream was unmistakable.

You could just watch it once and know he was finished forever.

7. Proably true, that was a painful thing to watch after all the hours we spent on his campaign.

6. If she starts babbling in tongues she could bring in some new religious voters.

8. my undecided

better half finally decided this weekend, against Senator Clinton. It was solely based on her tone this weekend, which she viewed has un-presidential. It's not scientific of course, but to this point she was going to make her mind up when voting.

9. It certainly felt as such

just by the sheer lack of virtue of the severe lack of consistency oscillating wildly from graciousness through words borrowed from her husband (actually Begala) at the close of the debate, then her caustic vitriol on Saturday, then her sarcastically and jealously dissing Obama's supporters on Sunday, then possibly her campaign pandering out of desperation to bigotry through Drudge.

Doesn't exactly inspire a warm fuzzy of hope.

Ya know. . .?

11. Indeed.
